DPI awareness does not seem to be working #2434

In my experience it's just the window size and column widths. Other than that it's fully working. If you only use this one monitor and this one DPI then resizing them once might be all you need. |

"just the window size and column widths" Regarding using just one DPI, it's not quite that simple for me. I often log in via remote desktop and that is at 100% scale (i.e. 96 DPI). |

Every time I reboot my computer the window seems to get smaller. It's as if System Informer is not correctly doing the conversion between 96 and 144 DPI units. |

I recently got a 4K monitor and set the scaling to 150% (actually, Windows automatically decided that was the best scale).

Now when I open System Informer it looks like this:
It's really small and everything is squished up. It should be much larger than that (1.5 times to be exact).
When I log in via remote desktop, from a computer with 100% scale, then it appears regular size.
I can see in the application manifest that
dpiAware
is set to "true/pm" (i.e. per monitor). I also see in the settings.xml that all size related settings have "@96" at the start, which suggests that it is recording the sizes at the given DPI. I would then expect it to see that the DPI is now actually 144 and adjust all sizes accordingly when it displays the windows.Am I missing something here, or has DPI awareness not yet been implemented? #1386 is still open but it looks like most of the work has already been done.
I am on version 3.2.25011.
